Eriksen has been a revelation since signing from Ajax as part of Tottenham's major squad overhaul, and has been in superb form recently despite being employed as a left winger by outgoing boss Tim Sherwood.

The Denmark international scored a last-minute equaliser for Spurs yesterday as they came from 3-0 down at West Brom, and Eriksen admitted that his move to the north London club could just be a stepping stone to a major European outfit.

He said: "I'm incredibly happy that they [Spurs] seem happy with me.

"I am very glad that they like what they see.

"Of course I have a dream and a secret plan in my head. But I keep it to myself. Right now I live in the moment and enjoy the success I have."

Eriksen had previously claimed he was more than happy to stay at Spurs despite their shortcomings in the league this season, adding: "I'm happy here and I am looking forward to the future.

"For me, the feeling I have at the club isn't dependent on being in the Champions League.

"Our aim now is to win all our matches so that we end the season with some confidence ahead of next year and if we do that, we can see where it takes us in the table."

Sherwood hopes that Spurs can hang on to their talismanic playmaker, noting: "You have to drag him off the training field every day and he is still a kid.

"He will get better. But he will only get better because he wants to. I'm delighted for him."
